Chapter 5:- Shopping shopping!
1147 Words
We had just one week left for our engagement and we had a lot of shopping left to do.....samira aunty and my mother had asked taufeek uncle and my father whether Malik and i would go shopping with both the mothers. So it was monday evening i had a quick bath and wore a simple kurti with minimal makeup. I wanted to look presentable in front of my mother in law and my future husband inshallah Malik. My ammi jaan was also ready ,she wore a yellow colour shalwar kameez with coloufull border. She looked very cute and i had got all the beauty from her........thanks to Allah!
Malik and samira aunty were already there outside waiting for us in their car. Samira aunty and my ammi jaan insisted me to sit beside Malik in the passenger seat. It felt a queit awkward with my mother and future mother in law sitting at the back seat and i and my future husband Malik sitting in the front. We soon reached a bridal showroom we decided to buy Malik's clothes first and then mine.
We went to gents section and Malik tried a number of sherwani's and suit ..... i must tell he looked mashallah handsome in all of them. Finally he liked one very much it was a navy blue suit with baby pink tie and a white shirt inside it to wear he mismatched and took white formal footwear on it.......he looked at me from the mirror and asked me raising his eyebrows indicating me to tell him whether how he looked and should he buy this or no. I smiled wide and nodded my head saying yes.....i felt butteflies dancing around in my stomach........and I thanked Allah for giving me such a handsome and understanding loving spouse.
Now it was my turn!!!! I was very excited......we went to the ladies section i saw a number of bridal wear but did not like any. Everytime i looked into the mirror and saw malik to ask him.....he always nodded his head in disappointment......I was frustrated now i just thought in my mind that... ya Allah!!!! what on earth does he want me to wear??!!........after a more number of trials i once again looked at malik from the mirror reflection and atlast he nodded yes!!!!!and gave me a huge grin in which his dimples could be clearly visible, and yes ofcourse i blushed!!! like always.
I took baby pink lehenga with golden work in it and a heavy dupatta which i took over my head....i looked mashallah very pretty. To give my look a finishing i took golden and silver sandels with medium heels not because i did not want to look taller to malik but because i wanted to be comfortable to stand in one place for hours.
Malik was 6"5 and i was 5"5 we looked the best together. Our shopping was soon done we four decided to have dinner at a near be restaurent which was quiest fancy and expensive....Alhumdulilah my family and Malik's family were very well off!
Malik was studyibg architects and i was studying psychology.......he was 2 years elder to me but we had one class always together....earlier i had no idea that Malik was 2 years elder to me and maybe that is the reason i saw him only in one class and he would disappear later. Malik would get a job immediately after he completes his graduation and and i would complete my graduation in another 2 years and then inshallah we would get married. Malik and his family agreed that i could go on with my futher studies and do internship for a year or two.
After dinner malik and samira aunty dropped us home......we insisted them to come home and stay for a night but they refused. We entered out house and said salam. Everyone replied back in chorus, ammi jaan had kept dinner ready already and abbu, aman and armaan just had to serve themselves.
I went to my room got fresh and got into my nightwear and decided to call my dearest best friend arub. The ring was going but no one answered the call.......i called her 5 times but no response i even called her mom but no one picked up........it felt weird I was worried but then thought maybe everyone slept. As i kept my phone aside and lied down, i heard knock....when i asked who it was......it said it was armaan. I felt scared and suspicious about what he wanted from me at this hour. I stood up and opened the door and saw Armaan standing with his eyes locked at the floor .....he gave me a note and just walked away.
That was weird! I locked the door and sat on my bed with the note in my hand which armaan gave me. The note :
Dear Laila,
I wanted to apologise to you for what happened day before yesterday i don't know what had happened to me ........i was very irritated with the site of you sittting beside someone else i felt jealously rising inside me ......i was jealous because I LOVE YOU LAILA!! I really do love you i am sorry to hurt you .....but please give me a chance laila ....just one chance to prove my self .........please laila one chance for the sake of Allah .

I will understand that you have forgived me......only because i love you .....i am not forcing you to love me back.......but please i need a chance. Everyone deserves one chance.
~Armaan.
I was shocked!!! those words "I LOVE YOU LAILA" were just dancing in front of my eyes.....i couldn't believe it what i had just read.......i lied down thinking whether to forgive him and give him a chance or no......i read my duas .......and later still thinking what should i do tomorrow to smile at him which means to forgive him or to ignore him which means not to forgive him..........and i went into a deep slumber.
~goodnight~
